I am looking to find out how to add tables to a post. Columns, Rows, colored cells, etc.. using ForumCode. I am a new admin for a new forum and am hoping there is a way to add the tags or maybe they are already there and I am just missing something. I have tried [TD], with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

| im not too sure what you are specifically asking, but Im gonna guess that you mean like the lines that divide each individual post? well for the coloured cells that can be done in the admin option under forum font, table colour configuration |

For what reason are you wanting to place a table within a post? Why the need for a table?
Knowing the above may help, or enable someone to give you an alternative option. |

I'm looking to create a schedule, and need it to have a clean organized look.. Something like this.. but in table format with colums and rows.
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sun.
Swim 2100 5 mile run
etc.. I need to color code some cells based on event among other things. This is a Triathlon club forum.
Any help would be apprecitated. |

Sorry, I don't know of any way to add the columns, maybe Admin can help you.
Here is an example of one way to display something like you might want; this would give you unlimited art options. However, you would only able to change it by editing, or by replacing the image, as needed.

Thanks for the reply. For now, that is what I am doing. I'll try to ask the admin if this functionality can be added. I believe ForumCo uses BBcode.. if so, then the following tags could be added, but I'm not sure how much customizing the Admin for ForumCo would be willing to do. I guess that also brings up the question as to weather I can add custom BBcode tags to my board.
here is a sample, found on the internet of what I would want to do.
BBCode Tags
[Table=Title] [/Table]
Table opening tag.
Requirements:
· Title – the title of the table header. This parameter cannot contain an empty value.
· Must contain at least one table row ([tr]) tag
[th] [/th]
Table Header cell.
Requirements:
· Must be used within a [Table] tag
· Must be used prior to any table row ([tr])tags
[tr] [/tr]
Table Row tag.
Requirements:
· Must be used within a [Table] tag
· Must contain at least one table cell ([td]) or alternate table cell ([tda])
[td=#%] [/td]
Table Cell tag.
Requirements:
· Size – the width of the column as a percentage (e.g. [td=10%]). This parameter cannot contain an empty value.
· Must be used within a Table Row [tr] tag
[tda=#%] [/tda]
Alternate Table Cell tag. Functions identically to a [td] tag, but uses a different background color within the table. This tag is used to alternate row colors within a single table.
Requirements:
· Size – the width of the column as a percentage (e.g. [tda=10%]). This parameter cannot contain an empty value.
· Must be used within a Table Row [tr] tag
_____________________________________________________________________
off course the underlying HTML code would have to be associated with the tag. Anyway. Still looking for answers. |

atl_runner,
see this topic here:
You must be logged in to see this link.
This may be something that would work out for your needs. If I understand the topic I'm directing you to correctly, it may be a calender (table format) that one could post a schedule of events to?
However, I don't see that Padraic has had the time to complete the project for now? |
